Fire Suppression
• Do not panic. At the first sign of trouble (burning
smell, smoke, visible flame, etc), stop the baler
and turn off the engine in the clearest area
available.
• If the fire cannot be extinguished safely, imme-
diately evacuate the area. DO NOT attempt
to extinguish it. DO NOT risk personal injury.
Contact your local fire department.
• If you have determined that the fire may be
safely extinguished, use the fire extinguisher
according to the manufacturer’s instructions,
or use the water pump, aiming water at the
base of the fire.
• When the baler has fully cooled, thoroughly
inspect, and make all necessary repairs to
return the baler to normal operation.
• Recharge or replace the extinguishers before
returning to work.
